The NRL is gearing up to investigate a fiery tunnel altercation between Jack Hetherington and Reed Mahoney, two league stars who found themselves in hot water after a heated exchange on the field.
The incident occurred during the Bulldogs' 36-12 victory over the Knights, with both players sin-binned for a verbal stoush that escalated into a scuffle.
After being marched to the sin bin, Hetherington and Mahoney continued their altercation in the tunnel, with Hetherington needing to be restrained by staff.
Braith Anasta, speaking on Fox League, described the incident as a "tussle" between the two players that has now caught the attention of the NRL.
"This showdown between Hetherington and Mahoney, both on the field and in the tunnel, is the subject of a serious investigation by the NRL," said Anasta.
Corey Parker added, "Their heated argument on the field spilled over into the tunnel, and it's clear that the NRL is taking this matter seriously."
Stay tuned as the NRL delves into this tunnel scuffle, as rugby league fans wait to see how this drama unfolds.
